It has an interface which is much nicer to use than other streamers like WD Live, or Roku 3. I have all three, including a Boxee. If you are using downloaded media like movies, Boxee will scour the internet, add box covers and movie and tV info and the interface looks like Netflix. Very detailed and great looking. Also, the Boxee will play virtually any type file, including ISO files, where Roku will not. I think its too bad that they have stopped selling these and providing support because this is a streaming device that works great, reads all files and has a nice interface. The only thing was is that it cost me 180$ bucks, and the other streamers are 75-80$. It will be missed, however i plan on using my Boxee until it dies. It was a great product and its too bad that its gone.

they should at least open the platform to developers so we can put our own firmware on it if they won’t support their own product $200 wasted at this point imo

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:56:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-263066Scam artists. What’s amazing is reading these articles talking about how the makers of Boxee are devoting their full attn. to Boxee T.V. and Boxee T.V. users complaining about bugs and non existent customer support. It appears to me that nothing has changed other than the product they’re scamming people with.

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:29:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-253885I’ve been perfectly happy with my unit, which I’ve had for a year now. Mind you I only use it to play media files that won’t play on my Topfiled recorder. Have not found a file it won’t play. On reflection it’s somewhat overpriced for that feature.

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:08:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-252532The Boxee Box is the most versatile box out there. Better than Apple TV and Roku for sure. And its also a lot more functional than the Boxee TV coming out. The problem with the Boxee Box – why they did not sell more units – was mainly due to a lack of marketing. Now they come out with a pared down device offering less functionality and hope that unlimited DVR will be their saviour. Hopefully some other device manufacturer sees what was so good about the Boxee Box and makes a similar device.

Thu, 01 Nov 2012 01:47:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-250378Why buy this cheap piece of crap when you can take out that old pc in your closet or garage, install your favorite distro of linux, add mythtv and a tuner card. Then you’ll get unlimited updates and have a much more robust machine for a few dollars. If you are willing to pay more, build a custom machine with a utx board into an htpc case for less than 200 bucks and have a modern and upgradable machine which will even play drm content such as itunes.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:17:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-249394Finally the news BoxeeBox users have known by deduction for almost a year now.
Boxee washes their hands of their existing customers & products and on to The Next Big Thing (TM). Disgraceful. Teh BoxeeBox community owes it to consumers to make sure there is some balance to all the hype about this new product. ie let the world know just how awful Boxee support has been. The worst I’ve ever experienced for any product in the last 20 years. Seriously, if you even entertain the notion of giving these guys your money, you have been warned. Caveat Emptor.

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:46:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-246699To be honest, the device has worked okay. I found I really didn’t use anything but local streaming. I’m in the works to put a XBMC system together or possibly wait on a ouya. As for the Boxee TV, there is no way I am touching that device. If I want something comparable I would go with a TIVO which is a tad bit more money but the stability and support are there. Also, if I want remote access to my movie/tv shows a simple vpn on my smart phone or tablet would easily fix this up.

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:16:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-246624I’ve had a Boxee for over 6 months now and have been generally happy with it (Thanks mainly to the third party repository sites). What has finally killed off this device is the lack of Flash support and the way Boxee have handled this.
What would be nice now and to possibly restore some form of consumer confidence would be for Boxee to offer a favourable trade-in price against their new Boxee box – that’s assuming it will be available in the UK!!!

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:48:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-246609Of course they totally dumped on all their European customers. Netflix just came to Scandinavia and Boxee refuses to update their netflix app so in essence tell the people there “screw you”.
Remember that if you want to buy from them in the future.

Now they want to go ahead and discontinue the American box. I just bought mine for 176 dollars yesterday. Now your telling me thatit is discontinued. it’s a great box but im very disappointed.

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:13:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=252079#comment-245668Their support was bad. I would tell anyone not to give Boxee their money on thier next venture. The boxee box had problems supporting some files, the browser was bad, and their ability to play flash episodes of shows from the web died quickly. They also lacked apps for Amazon that made me go out an purchase a Roku.
